Optimal L 2 -decay of solutions to a cubic dissipative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

This paper presents the optimality of decay estimate of solutions to the initial value problem of 1D Schrödinger equations containing a long-range dissipative nonlinearity, i.e., λ | u | 2 u. Our aim is to obtain the two results. One asserts that, if the L 2 -norm of a global solution, with an initial datum in the weighted Sobolev space, decays at the rate more rapid than ( log t ) − 1 / 2 , then it must be a trivial solution. The other asserts that there exists a solution decaying just at the rate of ( log t ) − 1 / 2 in L 2 .
